bush tried to push through? it is not. it is not different from what george w. bush tried to push through. lower taxes, fewer regulations, more domestic energy production, promises of deficit reduction that are overwhelmed by increased defense spending and tax revenues and panting rhetoric about economic freedom pretty much defined the bush administration's economic policy. and how did that economic policy work out? it was a disaster. this graph is by david leeanheart of the new york times. the two periods that span the bush years, '01-'05 and '06 to 2010, they come in dead last. the jobs picture wasn't any better. this compares job growth under bush's business cycle with job growth under the preceding cycles and gives bush a handicap. doesn't count '08 when the financial crisis and recession began, but even when the handicap, the bush years performed poorly. see that on the right, they are the small bars. note the graph again. it ends before the financial crisis. a financial crisis that is at least partially attributed to the let the banks do whatever they want

he thinks george w. bush was doing it right. and that's where he wants to take the country and the world, back to the george w. bush way of doing things. >> so what if the guy threw a shoe at me? >> the fact is simply this, that being the president of the united states is not just a domestic management position that the romney campaign might wish it were. the president of the united states is in fact important to the rest of the world. in fact, for citizens in many countries, he may have more direct life or death decision making power over them than he does over americans. because he's less fettered by congress and federalism as his role in commander in chief. that means the world tour of an american for president is not just a beauty pageant. very well might not matter in terms of the vote count back home in november, but a president or presidential candidate's presence overseas is substantive. and mitt romney's decision to embrace the george w. bush version of american foreign policy might give america watchers pause. not to m
